You've misplaced your cellphone in your house and you don't have a land line or friend handy to call your number and make it ring. If you've got internet access, WheresMyCellPhone can fill in for your friend.

The site is no-frills, for sure. You plug in your phone number, hit the "Make it Ring!" button, and WheresMyCellPhone dispatches a call to your wayward phone.
